It puzzles me how one can reach the grand old age of 70 and remain such a bastard. One normally mellows with age, like your good self, and all the finer qualities come to the fore. It does not say much for Hide’s judgement choosing friends like this.

As for Mr Hide; pathetic as you say. At the very least he could have provided us with some entertainment by spitting in Brash’s eye when he claimed they were good friends.

Personally, I would not dream of treating someone who I called a friend in the way Brash has treated Hide. It is the antithesis of friendship and I would be surprised if Brash had any friends within the true meaning of the word. I hope that one day he may find out what it is like to be betrayed by someone who calls him a friend.

And as for the voters of Epsom if they choose to vote for the Banks/Brash axis it will confirm the rest of the country’s opinions of the rich pricks in Remuera and Epsom.

It has all the makings of a Black Comedy.Don Brash ,Roger Douglas,John Banks ,and Rodney Hide all around the same table a comedy writers dream.May not be so funny for some of us if they get any traction in Government.

Surely people don’t believe that this is the Brash and Banks show alone. National is complicit somewhere in this coup. The scary thing is, if events unfold based on the polls at present, it won’t be National just re-inventing their 1990s ideology (gosh the electorate has a short memory) to govern another term, it will be a National/Act government even more right wing with free market theorists experimenting in all areas of peoples lives. As for Hide,he lost his mojo when he was perk busted.

Extract of a Speech published by Hon Rodney Hide at 1:11pm on 28 Apr 2011
“The process now is for Don to join the party. His membership will be accepted by the Board on Saturday. I have asked our whip John Boscawen to organise a caucus for Saturday where Don will have my full support to be leader, and the Board will reconvene that afternoon to ratify his leadership.”
The most worrying part in the whole take over by Don and his clique is that they have not shown any respect for democratic processes.

BE: “But that shift may be counteracted by Labour losing some of its supporters to Hone’s Far Left grouping.”

Which might not be all that telling, and unlikely to keep Goff awake at night. Just about ALL of them are either unemployed or unemployable, living on State welfare. Forever resentful, grasping, envious, petulant, greasy-haired and unkempt.

They may well be Te Tai Tokerau’s “Finest”, but not exactly what you’d call Labour’s crème de la crème. One of their “Best and Brightest” is presently in Argentina.

A recent Yahoo Xtra poll shows 85% voted against MMP. What does that tell us?

BE: “Which might not be all that telling, and unlikely to keep Goff awake at night. Just about ALL of them are either unemployed or unemployable, living on State welfare. Forever resentful, grasping, envious, petulant, greasy-haired and unkempt.” Just a soupçon of racism there, Merv?

I think Brash overestimates his appeal for voters. Certainly there are those who think that National is not moving quick enough and want an increased role for ACT, but Brash himself may well be the stumbling block. His voter appeal is very limited; he has no empathy and little personality and, to quote Terry Pratchett, he is afflicted with charisn’tma. He has never been personally elected to Parliament and there is a reason for that – people don’t take to him. So he’d better hope like hell that ACT can get an electoral seat somewhere.
